J. M. DONALDSON JR. M.D., F.C.C.P. and HEWELL C. SAMUEL M.D.1

1 Texas State Tuberculosis Sanatorium, Sanatorium, Texas.

Eight patients with tuberculous empyema were treated with tyrothricin in amounts varying from 10 to 50 mg. The temperature was elevated following the instillation of this drug in all cases. In three cases chest pain was experienced and one patient complained of dyspnea eight hours after the instillation of tyrothricin. Tyrothricin did not alter the character nor the amount of the purulent exudate.
